Starting January 2011, diesel engines of mobile construction

machines with power classes ranging from 130 to < 560 kW
must meet European regulations on exhaust emissions
according to EU Stage III B or US EPA Tier 4 interim.
The considerable reduction in particulate matter and NOX
necessary to meet those emission regulations requires that
engines be equipped with additional exhaust emission
treatment equipment that is adapted to the respective
combustion principle
The individual solution counts
Our goal as engine specialists is to provide our customers
with engines that not only meet all of their power needs but
also comply with the various emission regulations worldwide
while meeting their demands for efficient and economical
engine operation. We are therefore developing solutions
oriented to meet individual customer requirements.
The modular DVERT system developed by DEUTZ enables
us to implement different emission-reducing techniques
specifically tailored to fulfill requirements while maintaining
the proverbial criteria of our engines, which includes high
economy, dependability, and long life.
The diesel oxidation catalytic converter combined with
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is one of the DVERT modules
we use. This is the standard technology we implement for
TCD7.8 engines that have to comply with the EU exhaust
emission Stage III B and the US EPA Tier 4 interim.
Operation mode and Regeneration of diesel particulate filter
The Diesel Oxidation Catalytic Converter initially oxidizes
gaseous pollutants such as HC, CO, and NO. Soot
particulates are then captured at nearly 100 % efficiency
in a closed Diesel Particulate Filter installed after the
Catalytic converter.

Regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter

For engines > 130 kW DEUTZ offers active regeneration
solutions where the filter is regenerated by a burner
combined with an exothermic reaction in the DOC. The
burner creates a primary flame that is used to vaporize fuel
additionally injected into the exhaust. This mixture produces
a strong exothermic reaction in the downstream Diesel
Oxidation Catalytic Converter, which ensures that the temperature of the exhaust is increased to the level necessary
for regenerating the DPF. This solution enables regeneration
of the Diesel Particulate Filter at all time and for all load
patterns without any impact on machine performance.
DEUTZ thus offers the optimum overall solution for every
application maximum performance coupled with minimum
operating costs.
DVERT solutions with a future
Only after exhaust emission Stage EU IV / US EPA Tier 4
take effect, it will be necessary to equip engines of this
series with an additional SCR system, another. DVERT
module already available today.
